On October 2, 2015 we purchased a new 2015 Dodge Journey that was under a recall that we were not informed about from carl gregory Dodge Chrysler Jeep in albany, Georgia. The engine beauty cover may detach from the engine and come in contact with the catalytic converter. Safety risk: If the engine beauty cover remains in contact with the catalytic converter, underhood smoke and/or a fire may occur without warning. Remedy: The engine beauty cover must be modified and a mounting system must be installed. Recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available. When I called the dealer at 2:15 pm on October 12, 2015 to see why we were sold a vehicle under recall, the service manager told me "I don't know what you want me to say, it's nothing to lose sleep over." In a condescending tone. He did not know how long it'd be before the dealer would send out notices or how long before the repair could be made.

When I attempted to start the vehicle by placing my foot on the break and pressing the start engine button, the car initially began to start but then shut off (it was on a half tank of gas). I released the break, and then made a second attempt; pressing the break and pressing the start engine button. This time the engine repeated the initial vehicle start sound (as if it were coughing), until I hit the start engine button to turn cancel the process or turn the engine off. The vehicle started successfully on third attempt. When I got home, I noticed that the vehicle's engine icon was on - not blinking, just on. I turned off my engine, and then turned it back on and the engine icon lit up again. This morning when I was discussing it with my husband he let me know that a few days ago the Journey hood was popped. I don't even know where the hood popper is, and none of my personal belongings got snagged on anything so I don't believe I am the one who popped it.
